FIG. 2 shows an example of data stored in the second file F2 of FIG. 1, and it is assumed that data 20 “I” is stored, for example.

FIG. 3 shows an example of the kanji index 30 stored in the first file F1 of FIG. 1, where 31 is the address part, 32 is the reading part, 33 is the kanji pattern part, and 34 is the reading number part. . For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the internal code "I" of the reading of "I" of the kanji corresponding to address 20 of the address part 31 is read in the reading part 32, and the kanji pattern of "I"'100100.
10010 'is stored in the kanji pattern part 33, and the reading number' 3 'of "I" is stored in the reading number part 34.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the arrangement of the input character strings 40 stored in the memory R of FIG.

Next, an operation example of the apparatus of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. First, in step A1, the kana key K1 is pressed. For example, by pressing the kana key K1, “Koreha” is pressed. Then, the process proceeds to step A2, where the kana input entered from the kana key K1 is input via the processor C to the bus B6.
The temporary character is temporarily stored in the display RAM DR through the display RAM, and the kana character read from the display RAM DR is displayed on the display D through the display controller DC in response to a control signal sent from the processor C to the display controller DC through the bus B7. At the same time, the layout display data is transferred to the memory R through the bus B11, the already input portion is stored as a binary number "1", and the signals R = 1 and S = 0 are sent to the flip-flop FF. By setting the output Q of the flip-flop FF to Q = 1, the layout display data is transferred from the memory R to the processor C through the bus B11, and at the same time as the display of the kana through the display RAM DR and the display control unit DC. The layout display is also displayed on the display device D. For example, the display unit D displays a kana character "Koleha", the memory R stores "111000 ...", and the display unit D also displays the layout of the contents of the memory R.

Next, when the conversion portion start key K2 is pressed in step A3, the process proceeds to step A4, in which the processor C sends the signals R = 0 and S = 1 to the flip-flop FF, so that the bus B9
Since the signal of "1" is transmitted to the second file F2 through and the signal of the output Q becomes "0", the layout display disappears from the display D. In the next step A5, when the kana to be converted into kanji is entered from the kana key K1, proceed to stop A6,
The reading kana is stored in the second file F2 through the bus B8 via the processor C, and the reading kana is displayed in the layout-displayed area of the display D through the display RAM DR and the display controller DC. For example, "I"
When a kana is input, the kana input is stored in the second file F2 and displayed in the layout display area of the display device D.

Then, when the conversion portion end key K3 is pressed in step A7, the process proceeds to step A8, in which the kana data stored in the second file F2 is transferred from the second file F2 via the processor C to the first through the bus B12. The contents of the Kanji pattern part 33 and the reading number part 34 of the address of the reading part 32 which is sent to the file F1 and coincides with the data stored in the second file F2 are transferred to the processor C through the bus 12 and further displayed as the display RAM DR. The Kanji-converted data is displayed in the layout-displayed area of the display D through the display control unit DC. Next, the operation of the above-mentioned step A8 is repeated until the same data as the stored data in the reading section 32 does not exist (step A9). For example, step A7
When the conversion part end key K3 is pressed with, the kana "Watashi" entered in step A5 is converted into kanji such as "I" and "pass" in step A8 and displayed in the layout display area of display D. It

Next, when the selection key K4 is pressed in step A10, the process proceeds to step A11, the layout display data is transferred to the memory R through the bus B11, the already input portion is stored as a binary "1", and the flip-flop is stored. R = 1 in FF
And S = 0 signal is sent and its output ▲ ▼ is changed to ▲ ▼
= 1 so that through the bus B11, the memory R
To the processor C, the layout display data is transferred to the processor C, the Kanji character selected by the selection key K4 is transferred to the processor C through the bus B12, and then the display D is displayed on the display D through the display RAM DR and the display control DC. Show layout and. For example, if you select "watari" from the kanji displayed on the display D with the selection key K4,
“I” and the layout are displayed on the display unit D. The processing operations of steps A1 to A11 described above are sequentially repeated to perform kana-kanji conversion processing and display processing of the conversion state.

Further, with reference to FIG. 6, an example of a specific display of the display unit when an input kana in the embodiment of the present invention is input, when Chinese character conversion is not performed, and when Chinese character conversion is performed will be described.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display example on the display surface of the display D in this embodiment.

FIG. 6 (A) shows step A1 of the flowchart of FIG.
If Kanji conversion is not performed in correspondence with A2, the input "ko", "re", and "ha" are displayed in the input area on the left side of the display surface. In the layout area on the right side of the display surface, "1" is displayed according to the input.

FIG. 6 (B) is step A3 of the flowchart of FIG.
In the case of Kanji conversion corresponding to A6, by inputting "Conversion part start key (K2)", "wa", "ta", and "shi", "" is displayed in the area where the layout on the right side of the display surface is displayed. "I" is displayed.

FIG. 6 (C) shows step A7 of the flowchart of FIG.
Corresponding to A9, by inputting the "conversion part end key (K3)", the kanji conversion candidate of "I" is displayed in the area where "I" was displayed on the right side of the display surface.

FIG. 6 (D) shows step A10 of the flowchart of FIG.
In the displayed Kanji conversion candidates corresponding to A11, for example, 1. By selecting me, "I" is displayed in the input area on the left side of the display surface, and the corresponding "0" in the layout area on the right side of the display surface is changed to "1".

As described above, according to the present embodiment, if the inputted kana is not kanji converted, the layout is displayed in the same display, and if the inputted kana is kanji converted, the layout is displayed. Since the kana to be converted and the converted kanji are displayed in the same area by deleting them, the display area is reduced. It can be applied, and further, the input operation is simplified, and the processing can be performed in a short time.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when converting an input kana into kanji, the kanji as a conversion candidate is displayed in the layout area of the character string to effectively use the display area. be able to.
